Book Description

This is a spectacular collection of federal documents and resources compiled from the complete contents of two of our popular CD-ROMs (ISBN 193182889X and ISBN 1592480373). It's a great value - purchased individually, these CD-ROMs would cost $49.90, so you save over 60% by purchasing this CD-ROM!

FEDERAL GRANTS

Here is the OFFICIAL guide to Federal Grants and other assistance, produced by the Federal Government, with over 16,000 pages of loans, grants, surplus equipment, and training from 1482 agency programs worth $300 billion!

In addition to the comprehensive, extensively cross-referenced catalog of programs, there is information on developing and writing grant proposals and applying for federal assistance. It is produced by the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy. Our reproduction is substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office at $63, and more convenient than the CFDA website. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!"

The "Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance" gives you access to a listing of all Federal programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi-public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals. You can find assistance programs meeting your requirements and for which you are eligible. You can then contact the office that administers the program and find out how to apply.

Features of the catalog include:

September 11th: Assistance Programs relating to recovery/response and U.S. Government Resources for the events of September 11th * Types of Assistance * Applying for Federal Assistance * Developing and Writing Grant Proposals * Top 10% Program List * All Programs Listed Numerically * 2001 Formula Report * Historical Index

The catalog includes this "note for individuals": "Many individuals [expect] to find some way to apply for a grant or loan directly from the Federal Government. While there are a limited number of programs offering direct loans to individuals, most programs provide funds to state and local governments or other organization to manage the distribution of assistance according to local needs. For example, a VA or FHA loan comes from a financial institution such as a bank, credit union, or mortgage company, not directly from the Federal Government." e Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Please see the Table of Contents tab for a complete list of the agencies with programs included on this CD-ROM.

SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE

This electronic book on CD-ROM presents comprehensive information for entrepreneurs with documents, forms, and materials from the Small Business Administration (SBA), General Services Administration (GSA), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It includes the complete SBA contents from our SBA disc (ISBN 1592480357) plus material from the GSA and SEC for small business owners and investors. SBA material includes:

SBA library of documents, forms, startup kit for small business, information about loan programs and financing, laws and regulations, small business research reports, success stories, training workbooks, disaster and terrorist relief loans and aid, franchising information, international trade assistance, listings and directories, and SBA standard operating procedures. A full set of "frequently asked questions" (FAQs) provides a wealth of information about how the SBA can assist small business owners.

GSA material includes information on small business support. The SEC material includes questions and answers, rules and pending rules that apply to small businesses, small business forms and associated regulations, and other information from the SEC Office of Small Business Policy.

The documents are reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD-ROM.

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government.. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched by finding specific words, or printed without untold hours of tedious research and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. This book-on-a-disc makes a great reference work and educational tool. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

Pointless.......2004-07-10

Save yourself a lot of money and time ... just visit your local NonProfit Resource Center. These CD's are direct burns from government websites with a cheap case and covers. I got them and returned them the same day.

do not buy.......2004-07-07

It is not from government. Useless disk and don't waste your time and money. Search else where.

Disappointing.......2003-08-13

The CDROM is essentially a dump of the information found on government websites such as SBA, SEC, etc.

The information is voluminous so if you have a slow modem, there may be some value in purchasing the info on the CDROM for the sake of having it consolidated in one place. You will learn little new if you have already been to the websites.

Also, some of the links on the CDROM do not work properly. You open the page in Adobe Acrobat and receive and error message saying the page has to be opened in a browser. You open the page in a browser and you get a message saying the page has to be opened in Adobe Acrobat.

That kind of foolishness more or less sums up the value of the CDROM from my perspective.

big time-waster.......2003-05-11

Not only is all of this info available online, but the CD gives you a collection of non-indexed, gigantically HUGE Acrobat PDF files, some about 100MB in size. Navigating a 5MB text PDF is painfully slow - try 100 MB. Finding what you're seeking is practically impossible, and navigating PDFs of that size takes an eternity. Even a fast machine takes a couple minutes just to load the files into Acrobat, never mind doing searches, etc.

If they had broken up the files and named them logically (instead of titles like A1, B1, etc.), and provided some kind of indexing application or document that would point you to specifically what you wanted, then, yes, it might be handy to have. Otherwise, go online, and find answers 100 times more quickly. This is a ridiculously poorly done CD-ROM in this day and age. Big waste of $, in my opinion. If you have a slower/older computer without much memory, you'd REALLY want to avoid this thing like the plague.

You can get this on line for free.......2003-05-05

This disc contains pdf files downloaded from government web pages. Save yourself the money and go to the SBA, GSA, SEC web pages yourself and look up the information that is relevant to you.

Public Speaking: Strategies for Success .......2005-09-26

I received the book in good condition and in a timely manner.

Public speaking made easy........2000-07-09

For most people, public speaking isn't something that comes easy. In fact, most people dislike giving speeches (putting it mildly). I was one of those people that didn't come easy for. But, after careful studying of the tips/techniques to give a good speech, ways to analyze your audience, and many other concepts, I was able to give successful speeches, with the confidence that being well prepared provides. The topics in this book are easy to understand and remember, explain nearly all of the issues important for a successful speech, and are arranged in a manner that allows the student to get more sophisticated as he/she progresses through the course without presenting an information overload in the beginning and without holding all of the useful information until the end. I think that this book is a valuable text not only for the student but for anyone that would like to improve their public speaking skills.

Very excellent book.......2001-10-31

This book is very excellent and easy to understand, giving me a logical structure about projects, based on acronyms like GO CARTS, CRACS, DRIVER, and very clear examples about concepts.

You will be enjoy and appreciate it.

Good book for new PMs.......2000-11-10

Excellent for new project managers. Good information on fact finding and planning projects. The primary focus of the book, however, is on people skills. The author offers many good suggestions on gaining the cooperation of participants and influencing their managers. Well written and very easy to read.

People-Project Management.......2000-09-28

This book is not so much about the tools, charts and diagrams, used in project management as it is about working with people. In many places, the author presents concrete methods that can be used to manage a project team of individuals who all work for different people.

The final chapter is a valuable psychology lesson in handling and reducing the likelihood of a project being cancelled or shelved, something that every project manager experiences at one time or another.

This text is a must-read for every project manager who wants to perfect the way that he or she deals with the people that approve the project or carry out the tasks needed to complete the project.

Fantastic book for first-time project managers/leaders........1998-09-08

I have read several business related books which have been a waste of my time. However, this book is clear, concise, and very easy to apply to daily work. It helps you by giving a defined process and also addresses the "what ifs" associated with many aspects of managing a project. I found the book easy to read and hard to put down. I found myself say "so thats why I have a hard time of accomplishing a certain phase of the project". Almost all of my questions were addressed....and answered in this book. It's a definite "must read" for new project managers.

Easy to read. It has a lot of tips, lists and samples........1998-08-27

This book is less analytical and more into the psychology of Project Mgmt. It gives you tips on how to manage people, delegate, time mgmt. presenting project results, among other subjects. This book covers more than the basics of project mgmt. It is a good book for people already in Project Mgmt.

Trends in Web Technology.......2000-07-04

I believe this book to be up to date in terms of its ideas, and to stretch the imagination in terms of certain concepts and their practical aplicability.

As the book is written by IBM personnel, most of the software is slanted toward IBM and thus I would consider a fair reflection of overall developments.

Very handy CD rom included in the back, although mostly test stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book

Book Description

Assessments of the politics of European integration in general, and monetary union in particular, are many. In fact, the study of the European Union has become an academic growth industry. This book contributes to the debate a specific theoretical focus and practical perspective. It provides a critique of the political economy of European integration and its unique focus and scholarly analysis make it an indispensable contribution to a renewal of the Marxist critique of European integration.

While each country's judiciary is unique in its individual needs, capabilities and contexts, the lessons learned from Singapore's success can help guide judicial reform initiatives regionally as well as globally. No one would suggest that Singapore's strategy is a magic formula that if followed can erase the inefficiencies of all judiciaries. But it would be wise to examine the strategies used and lessons learned from Singapore's experience as a potential guide toward successful and sustainable judicial reform.
